- Short papers and Position Papers (up to 4 pages): Papers describing the early research results on original work on computational transportation science. Authors must clearly state the ongoing and future work and the relevance of the results presented in the context of the scope of this workshop.
- Demo Papers (up to 4 pages): Describing original systems for demonstration/presentation at the conference.
Papers must be in ACM SIG format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) (US Letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches) including text, figures and references.
